I’m sorry, but as of now, there is no credible information confirming the death of Mike Krzyzewski, the former head coach of the Duke Blue Devils men’s basketball team. Reports suggesting his passing are unsubstantiated and have not been confirmed by reputable sources.

Mike Krzyzewski, widely known as “Coach K,” is a legendary figure in college basketball. Born on February 13, 1947, in Chicago, Illinois, he served as the head coach at Duke University from 1980 to 2022. During his tenure, he led the Blue Devils to five NCAA championships (1991, 1992, 2001, 2010, and 2015) and 13 Final Four appearances, setting a record for the most by any men’s college basketball coach. He also achieved a career coaching record of 1,202–368, the most wins in NCAA Division I men’s basketball history.

In addition to his college coaching success, Krzyzewski served as the head coach of the U.S. men’s national basketball team, leading them to gold medals at the 2008, 2012, and 2016 Olympics, as well as at the 2010 and 2014 FIBA World Championships. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001 for his individual coaching career, in 2010 as part of the collective induction of the “Dream Team,” and in 2025 as head coach of the 2008 United States men’s Olympic basketball team (“Redeem Team”).

Krzyzewski’s impact extends beyond basketball. He and his family founded the Emily Krzyzewski Center, a nonprofit organization in Durham, North Carolina, dedicated to inspiring students to reach their potential as leaders in their community.

While rumors about his health have circulated, there has been no official confirmation regarding his current condition. It is important to rely on verified information from reputable news sources when discussing such matters.
